Venezuela’s Marxist President Nicolás Maduro (shown, left) closed the loop on Monday night, declaring under powers granted to himself by his “emergency decree” announced in January (later to be declared “constitutional” by his hand-picked Supreme Court) that his new Great Sovereign Supply Mission would be run by the country’s defense minister, Vladimir Padrino López (shown, right).
Maduro put everything that moves into the hands of Padrino: "All the ministries, all the ministers, all the state institutions are at the service [of] and in absolute subordination [to the new mission]."
Padrino, the head of Venezuela’s armed forces, now will be in charge of transporting and distributing what’s left of products supplied by the crippled economy, enforcing price controls, and “stimulating” the economy.
A former head of the armed forces commission in the now emasculated congress, Luis Manuel Esculpí, said, “This is now a completely militarized government. The army is Maduro’s [sole] source of authority.”

Maybe part of the lyin’ king’s playbook before Nov.?
Sean Penn, Sean Penn, do you have a comment about this..Sean....hey wait up Sean...where are you going...slow down, quit running away...Sean?
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López looks a little nervous. Manure-o looks a little bit like Josef Stalin.
Always has been as Chavez was a dictator too.
NOT a Military Dictatorship.
Just a stronger SOCIALIST Dictatorship.
Who wants to use toilet paper that was manufactured by army grunts with no idea what they’re doing who haven’t been paid for two months?
Nice demonstration of how socialism is all great and fine until you run out of other people’s money.
In his dreams.
I sure wish the left would pay attention to this then they could see how a failed State collapses All because of socialism
But the left is incapable of learning they’re too greedy and selfish to Ever pay attention.
He be lovin’ it.........................
Jimmy Carter too. He was down there this century validating their elections.
Vladimir?
I don’t care what they do. They deserve every thing that happens. We are broke and not 1 penny to these communists.
Also Joe Kennedy. He’s no where to be seen of course. Or Bernie for that matter.
Senor Penn is still in hiding.
Maybe Penn can bail them out with his red cup.
They do incline toward military dictatorships. Before Chavez there was Gomez. After Maduro there will surely be another prince of thieves.
The bus driver needs someone else to blame. Most Venezuelans have been under the bus for a while now.
